The Niagara Lutheran Health System oversees five affiliates that provide residential apartment homes and assisted living residences for seniors, rehabilitation and outpatient therapy, skilled nursing, respite care and a person-centered care facility for people needing memory care and enhanced assisted living.
When founded in 1956, the Niagara Lutheran Home was the first free-standing nursing home in New York State. Today, the Niagara Lutheran Health System is a network of organizations which employs more than 500 dedicated people.
The Niagara Lutheran Home at 64 Hager St. on Buffalo’s East Side was founded by The Lutheran Council on the Niagara Frontier. After looking for existing buildings to remodel, the Lutheran Council decided to build a brand-new home, and the board of directors of the Lutheran Church Home of Buffalo, located at 217 E. Delavan, voted to transfer ownership of a parcel of land around the corner on Hager Street for the new home. The Niagara Lutheran Home admitted its first patients on July 9, 1956.
In 1990, Niagara Lutheran began operating the Niagara Lutheran Delaware Home at 1040 Delaware Ave. in Buffalo, in addition to the Hager Street facility.
In the mid 1990s, Niagara Lutheran’s Board of Directors focused on developing a continuing care community in Western New York, where various levels of senior care would be provided on a single campus. In 1996, the Niagara Lutheran Health System was incorporated, and 52 acres of farmland on Broadway in Lancaster was purchased to become the location for The GreenFields.
On October 2, 1998, 120 residents from the Niagara Lutheran Delaware Home were moved into their new home. The Niagara Lutheran Delaware Home was then closed, with its operations transferred to GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center.
Following the opening of GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center, the next phase of campus development began, consisting of residential apartments at GreenField Manor and assisted living apartments at GreenField Court. The first residents moved into the Manor and Court in October 2001.
In 2006, The Lutheran Church Home of Buffalo joined the Niagara Lutheran Health System. In 2013, GreenField Terrace memory care and enhanced assisted living facility opened as the new Lutheran Church Home.
In December 2015, an era came to an end as the Niagara Lutheran Home & Rehabilitation Center was sold. The low Medicaid reimbursement situation made it very difficult for Niagara Lutheran to continue the cost-effective operation of the facility.
2019 marked another significant year for Niagara Lutheran Health System as construction began on two different projects on The GreenFields Continuing Care Community campus. GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center’s expansion includes the addition of 24 new private rooms and the conversion of 24 existing semi-private rehab rooms to private rooms. The GreenField Childcare & Wellness Center offers on-campus childcare and fitness center for employees and residents.
